Roll Along

 

This is the card you have all been waiting for..... Davina's Roll Along Card for Card Club.....uses only ONE sheet of A4 card and fits into a DL envelope.

Instructions....

*Score the card at 4", cut the card at 8" and hang on to the piece you have left - this will be decorated to form the front.  Fold the card along the score line and set aside.  

*Use the smaller piece now...... Cut off half an inch on one of the short sides.  Use a half inch hole punch placed half an inch from the edge and punch two holes, use a craft knife to cut the channel for the coins.  

*Using black stazon - stamp an owl onto a piece of brown card, attach with a sticky dot to a 2p coin, then set aside for later.  

*Using three colours of distress inks (I used shabby shutters, peeled paint and spiced marmalade)  I stamped the leaf twice with each colour, starting with the light green, then the dark green and finally the orange.

  

*Use either orange or dark green to shade the edges of the card. 

*Lightly mark the position of the channel with a pencil on the folded card.

*Stamp Thinking of You (or any other sentiment you happen to have), so it will show under the channel, I also stamped some leaves too.

*Position the owl face down on the table, put the round sticky fixer in the middle of the 2p coin, place the channel over the sticky fixer (make sure at this point that the channel is cut wide enough for the coin to roll along) put the other 2p coin on top - turn over and check the owl rolls from side to side!
*Use sticky fixers double along the top edge of the small piece of card and along the sides and slightly above the channel - make sure it does not impede the 2p coin as it rolls along.  Position this on the front of your card.  

*Send to someone lovely!
